Eastvale sits in Riverside County about twenty miles from the shop. Most owners leave on Limonite Avenue or Schleisman Road, work over to Hamner Avenue or Archibald Avenue, and take SR-71 south to SR-91 west. From the SR-91 the exit is near Weir Canyon Road, and La Palma Avenue runs east from there. Outside of peak hours the trip takes about thirty minutes. In a weekday morning peak it can run close to an hour.

Everything happens at the Yorba Linda building. There is no Eastvale location, no satellite yard, and no truck that comes to you. All repair, paint, and systems work is performed in shop, which is the only way to control booth conditions, structural fixturing, and cure times. Owners towing a fifth wheel or driving a full length coach should plan the arrival for the first hour of the day, when the yard is open and turning a long unit is straightforward.

## Frequently asked questions

### What is the drive from Limonite Avenue?

From Limonite Avenue, head west toward Hamner Avenue, then south on Hamner through Norco and Corona. Pick up SR-71 south, transition to SR-91 west, and stay on the SR-91 through the canyon. Exit at Weir Canyon Road and work north and east to La Palma Avenue. Off peak that is around thirty minutes. The canyon stretch of the SR-91 is the variable, since a single incident there can add half an hour with no warning.

### Which route do you recommend from Hamner Avenue?

Hamner Avenue south to the SR-71, then SR-71 south to the SR-91 west, is the default and the most predictable outside peak periods. Owners north of Schleisman Road sometimes prefer Archibald Avenue up to SR-60 west and then south, though that adds distance. If you are towing, stay with the SR-71 to SR-91 path. The interchanges are wide, the grades are manageable, and there is far less stop and start than the surface alternatives.

### When does Green River Road help?

Green River Road parallels the SR-91 through the Corona end of the canyon and works as a release valve when the freeway is stopped. Exit at Green River, run the surface street, and rejoin at the far end. It is worth doing when the SR-91 is fully backed up and it is not worth doing when the freeway is merely slow, because the surface signals will eat any gain. Check conditions before you leave rather than committing blind.

### What time should I leave Eastvale?

Aim to be on the SR-91 before 6:30 in the morning or after 9:30. The westbound morning peak through the canyon is the worst part of this drive, and a coach or a towed trailer makes it worse because you cannot work the lanes. Mid morning arrivals are the easiest for both sides. Coming back east, avoid the 3:00 to 6:30 window. For a Saturday drop off, anytime after opening is usually clear.

### Can I tow a fifth wheel to the shop?

Towed units arrive here constantly and the SR-71 to SR-91 route handles a fifth wheel without difficulty. Plan the arrival for the morning, since the yard has the most maneuvering room before the day fills up. Once here, pull forward into the receiving area rather than attempting to back a long trailer in from the street. Someone will meet you and direct the unit into position. Leave the hitch hardware, chocks, and jack pads with the unit.

### Where do I park a forty foot coach when I arrive?

Pull into the receiving area at the front of the yard and stop. Do not attempt to position it yourself. Yard staff will direct you, because the parking sequence depends on which units are scheduled to move that day and where your coach needs to sit during intake. On a long coach we walk the unit in rather than have an owner reverse it. Intake photographs get taken in that position before the unit moves anywhere else.

### Do I need to bring a second driver?

Yes, unless you plan to arrange a ride. Once the unit is signed in, it stays. There is no loaner fleet and no shuttle. Most owners drive out in a towed vehicle behind the coach, or bring a second person in a car. If you are towing a trailer with a truck, the truck goes home with you and the trailer stays. Confirm your ride before leaving Eastvale rather than sorting it out in the yard.

### Can I leave the unit overnight or over a weekend?

Units stay on the property through the repair, including nights and weekends. The yard is enclosed and monitored. What is not available is unattended after hours drop off, because intake requires a signature, a condition walkaround, and photographs. If your schedule only allows a Saturday, the shop is open 9:30 AM to 3:00 PM and that works well for receiving a unit. On Sunday there is nobody here to take custody of your vehicle.

### Do you come to Eastvale to look at damage?

No. All work is performed in shop and estimates are written with the unit here on the property. There is no truck that comes out, no yard visit, and no field assessment. The reason is practical: an accurate number on RV damage requires putting hands on the unit, sometimes pulling a panel, and often running a moisture meter, none of which happens usefully in a driveway. If the unit cannot be driven, arrange a tow to the shop.

### What should I bring at drop off?

Registration or a title copy, insurance information and the claim number if one is open, a set of keys for every lock including compartments and the entry door, and the code for anything you want opened. Bring photographs you took at the scene if the damage came from a collision. Remove valuables, prescriptions, firearms, and anything perishable. Leave the propane at a low level and tell us if the batteries have been disconnected.

### How do I coordinate a tow operator?

Email info@ocrvcenter.com with the unit type, the length, whether it rolls and steers, and the window your operator expects to arrive. Deliveries have to land during business hours, Monday through Friday 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM or Saturday 9:30 AM to 3:00 PM. Give the operator the address at 23281 La Palma Ave and tell them to pull into the receiving area rather than dropping the unit at the curb, which blocks access for everyone else.

### Is there a location closer to Eastvale?

There is one facility and it is in Yorba Linda. We serve owners in Eastvale and the neighboring cities, Corona, Norco, Jurupa Valley, Mira Loma, Chino, Chino Hills, and Ontario, but the work happens at the La Palma Avenue building. Concentrating everything into one 35,000 square foot shop is what makes a full paint booth, structural fixturing, and a stocked parts operation possible. Splitting into small satellites would mean losing all three.

### How long does the drive take when towing?

Budget forty five minutes to an hour with a trailer behind you, off peak. The SR-71 to SR-91 transition and the canyon grade both slow a loaded rig, and merging into freeway traffic at the SR-91 takes patience with a long unit. During the weekday morning peak that same trip can stretch past ninety minutes. Owners who have made the run a few times generally leave Eastvale around mid morning and arrive without stress.
